Well here he is just home from workHe's come home early to make their teaHe's by the sink she's in the loungeHe tries to talk to her but he won't succeedHis wife is on the 'phoneagainHis wife is on the 'phoneagain

Oh oh can't you seeIt could be you it could be meWell sometimes I wonderif this is life then I'd prefer to die

He sits and thinks he scratches his headThere must be more to life than being brain deadHe says a lot she just ignoresHe gets the paper out and he checks the scores

He's turned the television on oh he's turned the televisiononHe's turned the television on oh he's turned the televisionon

He's on remote he turns the dialHe can't remember the last time he smiledHe turns his back he doesn't want to knowA vow of silence just like death row
